    Summary

    Something about its gaze unnerves Bruce–it’s too still, too dead, too cold– and it speaks to the primitive human part of his brain that says ‘enemy!’. Something inside of him tells Bruce that he should kill it before it’s too late. It’s different. Dangerous.

    The child, a boy with trailing bruises along his pale skin and eyes that shine just a bit too green, pauses. His fingers nervously pick at the iron collar around his throat.

    Despite his petite frame and defeated posture, he registers as an absolute threat.

    “You want to kill me too, don’t you?” He whispers, thin voice resigned and tired, the cadence of a man on death row. He sounds as if he’s exhausted by Bruce’s fear.

    “How do you know?” Bruce has to ask, curiosity peaking despite how much the hairs of his arms stand up. .

    The boy only shrugs.

    --

    Bruce has a bad habit of picking up abominations, but he's learned a long time ago that sometimes the only thing that monsters need to stop being monsters is a little bit of love.

    Summary

    Bruce checks Tim’s IV. “Are you in any pain? Do you need more morphine?”

    Tim’s pupils are so wide that only the faintest ring of blue can be seen. He watches Bruce the way a five-year-old watches cartoons. “I’m all good, B-dog. All Gucci, like we cool teens say." His words are slurred almost beyond recognition, but Tim doesn’t seem to notice or care. "I could fight Superman right now.”

    Summary

    A lesser known fact about Halfas: on each Death Day, they gain a new ghostly trait. Sometimes these traits leak into their human forms. Danny is not particularly lucky in this regard.
